PLUNGER SLICK ®

Water Soluble, Oil Based and Bead Plunger Lubricants

PLUNGER SLICK® lubricants withstand high temperatures for plunger tips and sleeves used in high pressure die casting applications. Enhanced tip and sleeve life is achieved by incorporating specialized additives that allow for proper lubrication at different pressures and temperatures encountered during the shot cycle.

PLUNGER SLICK® is known for excellent boundary lubrication, strong adherence to the plunger tip, reduced smoke, no staining, and minimal build-up in the sleeve. PLUNGER SLICK® can be used over a wide range of metals including steel, cast iron and copper-beryllium. We supply low viscosity plunger lubricants perfect for spray applications as well as high viscosity lubricants ideal for automatic lubricators.
